Statement of significance: This house is associated with the historic development of Louisville as one of the early twentieth-century homes in Louisville's first residential subdivision, Jefferson Place. Although Jefferson Place was platted in 1880, little construction actually took place until the early years of the twentieth century. The property is significant for its association with residential development in Louisville during the first half of the twentieth century, and significant in the area of Ethnic Heritage: European for its association with European (Austrian) immigrant coal -mining families who flocked to Colorado's coal mining communities in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in search of economic opportunities they could not find in their own countries. It is especially significant because it has been owned by members of a single family throughout its existence. The house is architecturally significant under Criterion C as an intact example of a Craftsman house. 43. Assessment of historic physical integrity related to significance: Since its c.1908 construction date, the property has been modified very slightly and retains excellent integrity of setting, materials, design, location, workmanship, feeling and association. VII. NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT 44. National Register eligibility field assessment: Eligible Not Eligible X Need Data 45. Is there National Register district potential? Yes X No Historic District Potential: This building is contributing to a Jefferson Place State Register or local historic district, and contributing to a potential Jefferson Place National Register historic district. There is also potential for a small State Register and local historic district comprised of this building along with the associated adjacent houses at 722 Pine Street (5BL11317) and 720 Pine Street (5BL11316) located just to the west. All three properties have been in the same family for over 100 years, and for 633 La Farge, the ownership by one family has continued for nearly 130 years. Part of the significance of the history of these properties is that they reflect the early settlement of Louisville by numerous German-speaking immigrants. This potential small State and local historic district is significant under Criterion A, Ethnic Heritage, European, but needs data to establish what ethnic or cultural traditions are significant as a result of the family's immigration to Louisville. 6
